xp home edition.

Greetings --

The two versions are identical, when it comes to stability,
functionality, and device driver and software application
compatibility, but are intended to meet different needs, in different
environments. One difference not usually mentioned is that WinXP Pro
allows up to 10 simultaneous inbound network connections, while WinXP
Home only allows a maximum of 5.
